Indeed. I've done some work trying to get obio abstracted out across
all architectures.
The other thing that I'd like to see is a better defined board/cpu
initialization sequence. Or to make better use of the one that's
defined now and document it better. I made some bad choices, in
hindsight, for the at91rm9200 port that are only now becoming
apparent.
